Passaic River Stocking: Two Bridges to Elmwood Park

[Mark B.]

In the fall, 84 acre Packanack Lake will be drained for dam repair, & its fish will be relocated.

Looking for access points where a truck with tanks can stock fish.

Thanks.

That's sounds like awesome news!!!

I know of a few spots easily accessible with a truck. Will send pm....

[tycomps]

Snyder Ave Berkeley Heights boat ramp, with all the action going on down river we need as many fish as we can get up here!

[fishin4fun]

dump a truckload in the local lakes as well please, garfield and wallington...

Boat ramp on Camp Lane in Fairfield, 1/3 mile upstream of where the Passaic and Pompton join at Two Bridges Road. Easily accessible for a truck to back onto the ramp and unload fish.

Elmwood Park boat ramp across from Elmwood Park High School. Also safe/easy for a truck to back up to.

What type of fish does Packanack Lake contain Mark?

If I am not mistaken, it has a pretty good population of Largemouth, Channel Cats and I think Pike.

I second this one!
Although it might be considered Bridge Avenue at that point on a map.
Either way, stock it!

that's two for upriver, the further up the better, my digital camera is rusty from lack of use and besides if they're stocked up river they'll filter down to the other spots eventually too

make that three for up river !

Aqueduct Park in lincoln park, nj would be your best, safest and easiest option as it has a fairly large concrete boat ramp.. and its fairly close to Packanack lake..
